Nothing wrong with beer towels, they make great sill cloths we have been using them for 20 years and we are no cowboy outfit

They maybe great sill cloths but its the image that they project that is the problem.
here here ;D thank u rg1 :D some1 else who sees it as i do ;)


Just common sense really, which we both seem to have ;)

So there are no cowboy WFPers then?? Plenty who use plain old tap water!! I'm Just off to order some top of the range scrims now to wipe down my mucky sills.

always cracks me up to see 3 or 4 so called wcs out working every day now the suns out!

drive past in your sign written van with all your kit and get the usual stroppy look back as i beep the horn and wave.

why does everyone think they are a wc when the suns out?

be glad when/if wfp was the only legal method - would wipe out most of the cowboys on push bikes with an old tea towel they prob took from mummys

Martin, you say that it cracks you up when you see these 3 or 4 fellas out, & the stroppy look that they give you when you beep your horn & wave from your sign written van, but it actually sounds as if you are quite bitter about it at the end of your post!

You said be glad when/if wfp was the only legal method - would wipe out most of the cowboys on push bikes with an old tea towel they prob took from mummys, but it just seems funny thing to say, because surely that would see a lot of proffesional trad fellas at a loss as well?

I intend to give 100%, & build a good reputation doing trad, but if I saw cowboy WFP`s, I don`t think I would want to see it banned on purely this reason, but if it was losing me work, then I might feel a bit different.

i work out of my vectra estate, its very tidy an clean, door magnets on the side, i use a freedom trolley and use 22ft slx an 35ft slx, so gear is fairly top notch, i wear full sign written work wear, i also have a website.

so just because i ain't got a big shinny van, does it makes me any less of a professional,

NO it doesn't , its just some people have the wrong attitude,

then you have the seasonal shiner only appears when weather is good, old knackered car, no uniform, an in the pub by one,

just because i use my car don't make me like them.

If you have a good sound customer base then you have nothing to worry about. If you provide a high quality service at a fair price then you have nothing to worry about.

Unprofessional window cleaners who do a bad job will never keep customers who want a regular and reliable window cleaner.

At the end of the day the CUSTOMER decides what they want and how much they can afford to pay.

In fact I welcome these unprofessional types, they make us look even better. Most of the people who use poor quality low priced window cleaners we would not want as customers.

There is that expression, 'If you lend a friend a tenner and he doesn't come back, it's probably worth it'
In a way it's the same with customers. If they stop using you for a group of dodgy looking blokes, in baseball caps, who are charging so little they must be signing on, then it probably does you a favour. Because they clearly can't be relied on.

One of my custies was canvassed 4 times in a space of 3 weeks, and said 'No' to all of them!
I do a good job so I don't lose customers on price, and I'm not cheap

i think jacket was 50 notes, fleece 30 notes, t-shirts 13notes each, bodywarmer 20 notes. vest tops 10 notes each, high viz vest 10 notes.

but its worth every penny.
